It should also be noted that Marin County was a hippie haven back in the day, and towns such as Fairfax, Bolinas and other towns in West Marin are still home to hippies, both of the old school and neo- type. Even many of the yuppies in Marin are ex-hippies and thus heavily influenced by their backround in liberal politics. The inhabitants of Marin are typically very concerned with the environment and, despite what wealth typically indicates, tend to vote for Democrats and third party candidates; only quite rarely for Republicans.
